Saturday’s three o’clock encounters take care of the Gameweek scoring from this point on, before Chelsea end the day’s events with their meeting with in-form Stoke at Stamford Bridge.

To be fair, Fantasy talent looks thin on the ground. Manchester United’s visit to Newcastle would have normally provided the platform for points for some but, with Wayne Rooney’s toe injury putting him out of the picture, we’re left to look elsewhere. Cardiff’s vital clash with Palace offers the potential of this week’s big budget bandwagon, Jordan Mutch, while Robert Snodgrass’ remaining owners will be seeking further returns from their man when the Canaries take on the indifferent Baggies at Carrow Road.

Goals and returns look scarce, then, before Chelsea see us out and, while Eden Hazard and the Blues rearguard are still well represented in our squads, Stoke look distinctly banana skin-like as opponents. It could be an interesting day.

Our Twitter feed will provide all the latest team sheet tweaks, while our Dugout Discussion chatroom will accompany you right through to the final whistle at Chelsea.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Is there a place for RVP anymore?

    This season in the league,

    27 goals in 18 matches with RVP.
    29 goals in 15 matches without RVP.

    I know there are many more factors involved but it seems United are a bit more threatening without RVP in the team. He only has 3 assists this season, seems like he's a lot more selfish than previous seasons.

      What other factors are involved? Unless Moyes has been frequently resting RVP on easy matches (he hasn't, right?) there are no other factors.

        Ah well in fairness other factors would be defences Rhett came against and how they were performing at that particular time. Then you look at tactics etc. But my guy feeling is no RVP might be good for United's attacking threat.

      He's definitely not going to get any better. For me the key is that we have Mata and Kagawa who both prefer central positions. We've had poor results with RVP+Rooney this season, and Mata just doesn;'t do as well. Granted he's been great for us since signing but not sure he fits into any plans now. Would be a shame if Mata is shunted out wide again for games next season.

        I agree, Kagawa has some adaptability, more so than Mata, so he can manage on the left. Realistically I'd like a different formation to utilise them both. I have nothing against RVP, was great last season but I don't think Rooney wants to accept a supporting role and there's clearly issue with their link up play.
